Review calendar conflicts before confirming a booking
Check the calendar around an Appointo appointment request and get a clear report of events that may overlap.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
A new booking request can collide with an existing commitment if you have to check calendars by hand.
- See potentially overlapping commitments before confirming.
- Avoid switching between booking and calendar screens.
- Get a report that calls out the events found for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appointo and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Google Calendar around the appointment time in each Appointo request and report possible overlaps for review.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request whose appointment window can be compared with your calendar.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automation confirm or decline the appointment?
No. It searches for calendar events and reports possible conflicts. It does not change the Appointo booking.
What time range does it check?
Ask Notis to search the requested appointment window or a defined buffer around it. The request needs to include a usable appointment date and time.
Can it guarantee there is no conflict?
It can report events returned by the search. You should review the results before confirming a booking, especially if the booking details or calendar coverage are incomplete.
